When zipping a folder that contains empty folders using this code:
const zipFile = fs.existsSync(filePath) ? new AdmZip(filePath) : new AdmZip();
zipFile.addLocalFolder(folderPathToZip);
zipFile.writeZip(filePath);
The ZIP file cannot be unzipped by Mac OS's "Archive Utility" app used by "Finder" to unzip ZIP files.
It works command line using the "zip" command and it works with "The Unarchiver" app.
It fails with "Error 79 - Inappropriate file type or format" in "Archive Utility".
- "adm-zip": "0.5.10"
